She claims he is, or at least was, featured in a parade and did meet and greets in the park. Is any of this true. I really hope not, that's horrible.

6	Goofyernmost Sat 5/12/2007 8:32a	OMG, I am speechless. I guess I don't really mind that type of depiction of Walt. It's kind of Norman Rockwell-ish. I think I would draw the line at a meet and greet Walt Disney character!

You really have no clue who Walt Disney really was, do you? And YES, the guy on the opening float of that parade 6 years ago was meant to be Walt as a young animator... which is how he really started his career.
